Fire!

The fire was burning, and the Sun family's mansion, which was once quite magnificent, was completely enveloped in flames.

Looking at the Sun family in the flames, Zhu Guoqiang was surprisingly calm.

He didn't have the slightest psychological pressure because of the whole Sun family, not only because of the evil that Sun Zhiqi had done, but also because he was adapting. A moral code adapted to this era.

"Big boss, are we going back to the mountain or?"

Ding Pengcheng's question made Zhu Guoqiang smile.

"Back to the mountain? Now that he has gone down the mountain, he will make trouble to turn the river and the sea! ”

If he doesn't make trouble, how can he attract the attention of the imperial court and let them see the "banditry" in Shandong?

Zouping County in the morning and twilight seems to be extraordinarily quiet, the township soldiers recruited when Jiannu entered the Kou a few years ago have long been dismissed, and only the gatekeepers on the city wall are sleeping in the dilapidated arrow tower.

"The gates are about to open!"

Staring at Zouping County in the twilight, Zhu Guoqiang muttered to himself.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the city gate was opened at three o'clock every day, that is, around four o'clock in the morning. Through the binoculars, you can vaguely see that there are many vendors crowded outside the city gate, which are vendors who have entered the city to sell vegetables and goods.

"Wang Dali, you lead a few brothers to the west gate, as soon as the city gate is opened, kill the soldiers guarding the city and seize the city gate!"

Raising the horsewhip, Zhu Guoqiang ordered his subordinates beside him.

Although it is not possible to talk about Chengping for many years, but the inland hinterland that has been abandoned for many years, such a county does not need to be attacked at all, only a surprise attack.

In fact, whether it was the Qing army entering the Kou or Li Zicheng sweeping the Central Plains, most of them attacked them unprepared, or used the deterrence of large armies to force the other side to give up the defense, and rarely attacked strongly...... In fact, such a small county town without soldiers and dangers, even if it is defended, it will not be able to hold it for long.

Five watches arrived at three o'clock. The four gates of Zouping were opened on time.

"Slow down, slow down, don't squeeze ......"

There were still sleeping errand soldiers in the city gate, shouting and shouting that the people entering the city should not be crowded together, in fact, there were not many people at the city gate, it was nothing more than dozens of hawkers from nearby villages.

"Rushing to lift the tire......"

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, the guard at the gate looked up, and saw a white light flashing in front of him. Without waiting for the messengers to shout, Wang Dali, who led five or six horsemen into the city, killed the five messengers guarding the city gates, and even the hawkers who wanted to shout were killed two.

But even so, when Wang Dali asked people to send a signal to the big boss, there was still a shout from the city. The vendors, who had narrowly escaped, shouted as they ran.

"Murdered!"

"Hibiki Horse has entered the city......"

……

Almost as soon as Zhu Guoqiang led the brothers into Zouping County, the city became a mess, and for the people in the city, they were no strangers to Xiangma, but it was the first time they heard that bandits had attacked the city.

Almost at the same time as the chaos in the city, Zhu Guoqiang had already led two hundred cavalry and dozens of strong men recruited by Sun's family into Zouping County.

"Go straight to the county government, go straight to the county government......"

Zhu Guoqiang, who took the lead, waved the saber in his hand, and commanded loudly while galloping on his horse.

As long as the yamen is captured, Zouping County will also be captured.

The whole process went smoothly beyond Zhu Guoqiang's imagination, until he approached the yamen, he saw a team of yacha who came in a hurry, and before the yacha could react, Ding Pengcheng and others, who followed Zhu Guoqiang's side, had already rushed to kill the past, although they were from the palace guards, and they were not good at riding bows, but they had also carried out some horse combat training, they held the reins in one hand, and the spear was clamped under the armpit with the other.

"Kill ......"

The spear several meters long, with the impact of the horse, was like a skewer of meat, easily piercing the bodies of those yachas, but in the blink of an eye, four or five yacha fell, and the rest of the yacha suddenly scattered, as local people, they did not flee to the main road at all, but fled directly towards the alleys left and right.

"Run ......"

When the yacha, who only hated his father and mother for having a few legs, fled in all directions, Zhu Guoqiang did not let people chase him, but directly ordered people to kill him in the yamen.

"The county is there, the county is there......"

Wang Dali, who took the lead, carried a saber with a knife, and shouted loudly while riding a horse in the yamen, but people didn't expect the county magistrate to sneak away.

"What the hell, I escaped......"

"Escaped?"

Although he was a little surprised that Zhixian escaped so quickly, Zhu Guoqiang didn't feel strange, after all, ...... It is also human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Take all the people in the yamen out, and see how much silver is in the treasury, and how much ...... is there."

Just when Zhu Guoqiang's side was just deploying to take over, there was a noise outside, and there was a noise of gongs and drums left and right.

"Kill the horse, kill the horse......"

"The big boss, it's not good, it's not good, the county master will kill it back......"

In fact, Xu Neng did not flee, after he heard that Xiangma entered the city, when he escaped from the county government through the back door, he fled directly into the adjacent Zhang Dahu's house, although there are only twenty or thirty errand soldiers in Zouping County, but Zhang Dahu's family has twenty or thirty families, and the big families in the city have less than a dozen, and more than twenty or thirty families.

As soon as Zhang Dahu heard that Xiangma had entered the city, he would not know that Xiangma was powerful, and at the same time handed over the family members to the county, he asked the family to notify the other families, and did not even wait for him to notify.

That consciousness is definitely more than that of the guards, after all, for these big families, they know very well that after the sound horse enters the city, the first person to suffer must be them, the big families, naturally extraordinarily concerned.

They ran into the yacha who had been killed and retreated before, and the officers who had been killed and feared were immediately emboldened when they saw everyone rushing over.

"County respect, county respect ......"

As soon as the panting Yacha saw Xu Zhixian coming over with someone, he shouted loudly.

"Those ringing horses are robbing ...... county office"

"Quick, Brother Zhang, don't let those ringing horses escape......"

"No hurry! County"

When Zhang Dahu heard this, he laughed and said,

"Butler, ring the gong......"

When the piercing gong sounded, the sound of gongs also sounded in the distance, and the gongs and drums sounded in all directions, and suddenly there was a foreign exchange in the city, and seeing that Li Zhixian next to him seemed to have some doubts, Zhang Dahu explained.

"County Zun, my Zouping County is located on the side of the mountain, and I often make noise about horse thieves, and I always have some doorways for self-protection. This time, we're going to catch turtles in an urn! ”
